Auto capital letters in HTC sms client - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it really not possible to get sms client to understand that you use capital letters at the start of a new sentence?
Can´t understand how it could lack such a basic function that one has been used to have since the monochrome display cell phone times???

Does it only capitalize the very first letter in the SMS Client?
If so, do you put a SPACE between the . and the next word?
My Client then capitalizes the next word, no problem here.
EDIT: Additionally, check if you activated "Capitalize first letter of sentence" under Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Input -> Options-Tab.

Yes, but that´s the wm client, I´m talking about HTC own sms client.

I was talking about the HTC Messaging Client too.
It works for me, no problem at all.
What keyboard are you using?

Touch input. Does it capitalize immediately or when you send the message?

It capitalizes it immediately after I finished the word after a full stop.
It is important that you put a space between the full stop and the next word, I hope you know that

Yes that´s the way I would like it to work and the way it works on the wm client but not on the HTC. Had a diamond before the hd2 and it was the same thing with it, that´s why I assumed the HTC client didn´t have this function at all...
Just to be clear, you use the one with speech buubles?
Can anyone else confirm this?

I just tried it in Conversation Mode, but it also works there without any problems.
I always use Traditional Mode.
EDIT: Wow, wait a minute. The HTC Messaging Client does NOT have speech bubbles at all. The WinMo Messaging Client has these!
What ROM are you using BTW? If it's an Energy-ROM, there's no HTC Messaging Client included.

Lukas

I´m using energy and I thought it was the stock HTC client, but I installed the addon and then got the stock. There the auto capital worked but the interface otherwise was terrible so I uninstalled it.
Does energy rom have a custom app where you see the sms as speech bubbles or what?
Anyway it´s when I type in this that the capatalization doesn´t work...

6.0 compared to 6.1?

Ok so I install the latest Sprint rom on my Mogul. It works perfectly. I dont use HTC today plugs so I have no memory leaks. After 11 hours I still have 20mb of memory left. The phone runs stable. No freezes. I use Spb mods for all my other needs and sirius radio, tcmp, flash bundle, opera mini for all my apps and needs. I run Slingbox and Orb to connect to my home PC media. I have zero problems with the phone so far.
The reason for my post is I was wondering what the benifit to using 6.1 would be. I dont have memory problems. All of the menues work the way I need them ect.. As far as I can tell 6.1 boasts better memory management? I realy cant find any claims to fame on the MS sites for it.
Any info is a big help ty much!
If you use SMS a lot, the new threaded SMS client is MUCH better in 6.1
Question about the threaded SMS. If I backup my sms and load it back in after loading DCD's rom, will it still be there with the new SMS program? Basically, I want to keep my SMSs just like I keep my emails. Does the SMS program use the same database to store them? Will I be able to view the old ones in threaded style? Also, does it distiguish between conversations or does it just thread all the sms between you and said individual?
Also, here's one thing I found talking about 6.1 advantages.

The only negative I've found is that WM 6.1's PIE seems to take quite a bit longer to "render" webpages.

After reading those ppl's comments, I clearly realize that most people are oblivious of the capabilities of WM phones. Also, the 2nd guy says he wishes he could get WM 6.1 on his XV6800. I want to tell him that he can, but that would make me more of a dork.
hahah!! i thought the same thing about that guy and his 6800! hahahaha

Yes, if you use PIM Backup to backup your SMS, when restored with WM6.1, it will restore it as threaded. It distinguishes the conversations. It will restore email like normal.

It does not distinguish the conversations in the way that Poke_N_PDA asked. Every interaction between me and my brother, for example, gets put into the same thread. We might not send messages for a week, but then once we do, it creates the messages in the same thread as our previous messages. You end up having a single thread for each contact you correspond with by text message.

I don't think I have a problem with that. It would be nice to be able to divide it yourself and start new conversations, but I can live without it.
Also, can you still view and look through messages individually like you could in 6.0? It would be really nice if they just set it up as a view option to where you could select different styles.

Chronological display in threaded messaging

hi all,
actually i never want to make a new thread for this, but i've searched for all related post regarding this problem, and i got nothing. Well, the closest solution that i've found is the Zenyee's disable htc messaging interface application, but even that is not working for me.
the problem is the sms messages display in chronological manner, even though of course the threaded messaging option is "ON" by default. This problem only occur if you open the sms by using the manila sms interface (or directly by tap the sms tab), but if you open the sms conversation by using the WM, it looks just fine. I know, maybe it's a porting bug that hasn't been able to be solve (or maybe it isn't).
I just wanna know if anybody has a same problem with me. If yes, what have you done to solve this problem? and one more thing, is there anyway to change the shortcut of the sms tab, so when you tap the sms tab, it takes you to the WM sms display, instead of taking you to the manila sms interface?
i'm using ROMeOS V3.O1 WWE. WM 6.5 . MANILA 2
i'm really thankful and appreciate for all the response to this post.

[Q] sms recipient completion doesn't work

hello all,
so this is my problem - sms recipient completion doesn't work. i have to type a few characters and then DELETE one and then i get all possibilites. but that's annoying.
anyone else had the same issue? i want to see possibilites just as i type...
thanks!
go to settings Locale and text, text input and make you choices, then soft reboot - works for me
no it's not that...but i figured what it is. it's related to the new keyboard i installed. as soon as i switched back to the default one, sms recipient completion worked as it should.
thanks
you're probably using resco keyboard pro & it's a bug with the program. it's annoying but you have to deal with it.
TouchPal has the same issue...but with TouchPal even backspace doesn't help.
I need good keyboard without issues
edit: ok, even the fingerkeyboard 2.1 which has "sms contact suggestion" checkbox checked doesn't work for me (yes i did soft reset after installation)...
i guess i'll stick with the default one for now...

[Q] SMS Contact Lookup Crashes Message

Hi,
I'm running a HTC HD2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 running ROM 3.14.110.1 WWE.
Recently, whenever I try to send an SMS and type the contact's surname into the "To:" box - the messaging application disappears off the screen. No draft SMS is saved, and when I return to the messaging application - no evidence of the SMS is present.
If I click the Contact Lookup icon in the top right hand corner, I can manually select contacts through this method - but obviously it's a lot slower than simply typing a surname and picking out a contact.
I've tried removing my MS Exchange ActiveSync connection, and then re-establishing it after a Soft Reboot - but the problem persists.
Has anyone experienced this, and can suggest a fix?
Regards,
Richard Tubb.
Im glad I'm not the only one this happens too, I just thought it must be my fat fingers pressing the wrong buttons....
Sorry I cant help but will be watching to see if there are any helpful hints on how to fix this error..
How many text messages have you got. . . . Coz when i was getting this and after a hard reset, I didn't restore my test message and the problem want away.
Don't now as never found a solution yet.

[Q] Mark SMS as read after a while...

hi, I'm not familiar with Android, but when I used WM, my old phone had HTC Sense too
And made an editing of registry key, I could force the phone to mark a new SMS
as read after few seconds, when I just looked on Sence SMS widget, not even
opening SMS app...
Is it possible to get the same functionality on 3vo? Stock rom for now.

First, welcome to Android! I switched from WM almost 2 yrs ago and haven't looked back!
Interesting registry setting on WM. I haven't heard of or seen anything for the Android. Android def doesn't have a register as its based on linux and not windows. Also, as a technical sidenote regarding how Android functions, the system sends a broadcast when a text message is received. Any application can grab this broadcast and use it to trigger an action. The messages are usually stored in an sqlite database on the device by each messaging app. Marking the message as read after a set time interval does sound like a simple request. I would suggest looking through the Android Market as I would think there would be a solution there.
There are also 3rd party messaging apps so the user isnt *stuck* using the stock messaging app. Perhaps one of the popular 3rd party messaging apps provide this setting.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for reply! I know the basics
But keeping an application which is monitoring messages all the time to clear the status
seems not the best solution.
I thought that Sense for Android can make it itself, as Sense for WM can do this!
Probably, as well as on WM, it needs a little tweak
